Fluorine Dissociation Study for Pulsed Chemical Lasers.
Abstract
This report presents experimental results for the dissociation of F2 in electron beam sustained discharges. Two diagnostic techniques were developed for the measurement of transient F atom concentration with sensitivity as high as F/F2 = or > 0.00001. The sustainer enhancement factor derived from these experiments is small, <2, and appears to be mainly due to dissociation of F2 by collisions with energetic ions. Measurements were also made of the effect of additives, such as SF6 and CF4, which exhibited negligible enhancement effect in sustained discharges.
